Basic Information about the Disease PaperBasic Information about the Disease Paper
Each student will write a paper that will choose a disease not covered in class and analyze its causes and its effects on the human body.
The concept of this paper is to apply the basic physiology learned in class to a specific case of a disease
The disease chosen MUST be approved by your instructor and must involve at least 2 major body systems
This will be a formal, typed paper with some specific formatting requests, but it is not in a particular style (APA, MLA, etc.)
The final document of the paper will be emailed to the instructor as an attached file, or shared via GoogleDocs
Acceptable attached file formats include .docx, .pdf, .rtf
The final paper will be worth up to 20 points
